2023 Bodegas Frontonio 'La Cerqueta', Vino de la Tierra de Valdejalon, Spain Abruzzo They get pressed very gently

They get pressed very gently and will then ferment spontaneously in old “Fuder” barrels

and unfiltered with no adjustments save for 15ppm SO2 added at bottling

it’s another sign of the dedication of this winery to natural and fine wines

Vinification: 50% whole-cluster and 50% destemmed fruit were macerated for 4 weeks with daily hand punch-downs

so we kind of went for what was left– and I couldn’t be happier now
